My Riffs

You likely won’t attain something you don’t aim at. At least not anything worth attaining.  Aim high. Aim at the highest value and impact things. Start with yourself. That’s the best place to change the world. 

Experiences over things. Accumulating experiences will make you better than accumulating things. Of course, the quality and value of the experience matter. But experience over things will make you richer and fuller.  

Why be a gatekeeper? Share. Share what you have, share what you know, share your time. Being stingy makes us weaker, not stronger. We get better by giving.

There are many ways to communicate. Words, silence, looks... They all convey something. So pretty much anything we do is communicating something to others.  Work on engaging your eyes, making your voice sound engaged and enthusiastic, and showing interest in your face, tone, and body language.

How do you think people felt when you spoke to them today?

So much is clamouring for our attention. We don’t have enough attention to give to everything that’s asking for it. There’s a huge deficit.  We have to be extremely picky on what we give attention to.  Not everything that calls for our attention deserves it. Save your limited attention for things that matter.
